The Edinburgh Festival
goes... fringe
If you are there this year, we have five shows to recommend.
Guaranteed Nudity –
Duck and Cover Theatre
The Space on the Mile,
11th-23rd August, 21:10
Guaranteed Nudity is a topical comedy sketch show
centered round the theme of justice. In today's society,
inequality is everywhere: be it gender, religion or race
related. Injustice is prevalent. Through a series of scenes
and songs, The Paisley Tie Company are here to question
what is fair with their new show Guaranteed Nudity. What
are the consequences of inequality, hilarious or otherwise,
and who really decides what's just? A laugh a minute and
nudity guaranteed, don't miss out!

MenSwear Collection: 3.2.F*ck –
Lights Up Entertainment
C-Nova, 30th July – 25th August, 17:15
Three. Two. F*ck tells the story of three friends who
have broken into the music scene, after years of struggling
on the underground circuit. When a prestigious music
magazine names them “the next big thing”, comparing
them to The Monkees and The Wombats, they begin to
question the legitimacy of their legacy. They will not be
pioneers of some new era because they’re not different,
and they will not be remembered for being different…
but that doesn’t mean that they can’t be remembered.
The sudden fame provokes discord, as the band argues
about the validity of their career and whether the key
to true success lies in the fate of legends like Kurt Cobain
and Jimi Hendrix.

MenSwear Collection: SPUNK –
Lights Up Entertainment
C-Nova, 30th July – 25th August, 22:05
The last thing that f*cked James was the HGV that landed
him in a wheelchair, so to say he's sexually frustrated, is an
understatement. The way forward seems simple - he'll hire
someone to do what no one will do voluntarily. Bring him
to satisfactory orgasmic climax. James's carer doesn't
understand why he would want anything to do with a sex
worker and it's going to take more than a hooker, with a
BA in Sociology, to convince him otherwise. A touching
and topical new black comedy about spiders, superheroes,
Socrates and shagging.

The Jungle Referendum –
The Three Mugs of Tea
C-Nova, 30th July – 16th August, 12:20
Based on the classic novel The Jungle Book, The Jungle
Referendum explores the upcoming Scottish Referendum
in a Brechtian style. The referendum is an important vote
for the United Kingdom and the play explores the facts
and figures being thrown at us. Follow Mowgli, as she
journeys through the jungle in search of the truth of who
to vote for. As Mowgli walks, she finds herself being lured
into the treetops by the monkeys, where she meets David
Cameron, with Alex Salmond, the tiger and Nigel Farage
and the slivering snake. Mowgli tries to come to a
conclusion. With silly songs, Scottish dancing and enticing
poetry the cast explores the Referendum like never before.
